Dating : How do I accept the fact that I probably won’t start dating till my mid 20’s?
I’m 20. And because of this pandemic. I haven’t had the chance to meet anybody. I have tried online dating for 2 years, but not a single date. Nothing at all. Haven’t been on a date ever, absolutely 0 experience.
How am I supposed to accept the fact that I probably will be single for years to come?
you just…accept it? i’m not sure what sort of advice you’re expecting to receive here. is your state or country still under lockdown? because if not, what’s preventing you from meeting people in an organic setting?
stop thinking about it and applying time limits to it
I totally get it. I’m in the exact same boat. Everyone keeps saying that it’s better to wait, and there’s no rush to start dating, but it’s tough having never been on a date before. I understand
Online dating can be a nightmare if you lack the necessary game skills and profile. Unfortunately, for women, most of it has become a platform for IG accounts self-promotion, a confidence booster or simply they follow the trend of sweeping left just to feel powerful. There are plenty of free online tutorials on how to build an attractive profile and get more likes, as well as how to make online game. Go check them.
Now, what I see between the lines is that you’re more into a victim mentality and resignation mode that just won’t let you take the bold steps and changes required to get good results. That means, even if you get more likes, you won’t know how to proceed after that to actually ***get the date***. You need *inner game*, a switch of mindset that helps you grow and allows you to believe things are possible and achieve them from a sense of confidence and deserving.
I mean, I’m 36 and at your age I wasn’t very social and tinder was just a flamable product. How did I date women then? Just by adding them on FB, commenting sometihng cool on their pics and talking to them on the chat. Sometimes it wouldn’t work, sometimes we’d have a ldr and sometimes we’d meet and do have something.
Don’t let your desperation paralyze you. Believe to see.
Keep your options open where you can/want to, but try too not get too hung up on it in the meantime. Sure it’s part effort on your part but it’s part up to chance to happen too for better or worse, just like this pandemic was some stupid chance. I didn’t even have a date for the first time until about two years ago and I’m almost 29. All I can really say is don’t get your hopes too up, but don’t let that get you too down either.
If you give up you’ll never start dating. Try to maybe get better photos, learn to type and talk to girls by lowering your standards and it will come
Buddy, in this 2y of “pandemic” i dated more gals than before that.
Don’t expect changes if u keep doing same thing over n over.
The pandemic is over here in TX. Everyone is out and about dating and having fun.
